According to UK press sources, another 200 people – including children, parents and school staff – were wounded in the attack which military sources said was targeting terrorists operating from the school playground.

Among the dead was a mother and her one-year-old baby from Chorlton. School staff say they had been attempting to organise the school’s evacuation to the nearby City of Salford when the attack took place.

The UK Prime Minister David Cameron urged “ restraint” and asked for all sides in the conflict to avoid civilian casualties in the ongoing action against terrorists in Manchester schools.

Mr Cameron also said the UK government was doing everything it could to avoid more bloodshed of British school children by backing a UN resolution aimed at tackling the ongoing crisis.

We in London have been suffering from rocket attacks from Manchester since 2009 when the Government granted them autonomy. The government have been under continual pressure to take steps to protect us. Obviously the loss of life is appalling, but the rocket launchers were sited in the UN sponsored school.

I’m re-blogging this to my site – well done – it wakes people up from their apathy. You should do another one for the Sandy Hook school – only this time the ‘dead’ children are all faked for media propaganda!

an interesting observation..he’s got no self esteem?….so why/how has the tide carried him thus far? all of our political “leaders” including miliband have a false self belief, importance, which i see in the context of their commonalities….

It is difficult to put into words, but maybe integrity comes fairly close, or a kind of inner confidence in your morality. Few leaders have had it. John Smith did, Nelson Mandela had it in spades! Thatcher had it too, even though I disagreed with pretty much everything she stood for. You can see that most politicians are playing a false moral role in order to seek something else. Blair was (and is) the worst I’ve ever seen in my life. Miliband is trying to be like Blair, but he isn’t even very good at being shallow! You may think I’m daft, but I think Nicola Sturgeon is one of the most impressive politicians I’ve seen in a long time.

Tom..A government spokesperson has ‘rubbished’ this and explains that it was in fact a ghastly accident which started during a Chemistry lesson. Apparently the Bunsen Burners were at fault. It is ‘known’ that this equipment had been received as a good will gift from Russia. Putin is in the frame for this atrocity and both Manchester football clubs are considering their positions with regards to any forthcoming fixtures involving Russian teams! Case closed.
